13. Remove the inspection hole cover by turning the retainers 90°
degrees clockwise.

Remove the o-ring.
14. Disconnect the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump
assembly electrical connector, the EVAP hose, and the fuel feed
hose.
Disconnect the quick connector as follows:

Hold the sides of the connector, push in tabs and pull out the
tube.

If the connector and the tube are stuck together, push and pull
several times until they start to move. Then disconnect them
by pulling.

19. Remove the fuel tank strap bolts while supporting the fuel tank
with a suitable lift jack.
20. Disconnect the EVAP hose from the molded clip in the top of the fuel tank while lowering the fuel tank.
21. Lower the fuel tank using a suitable lift jack and remove it.
22. If necessary, remove the lock ring using Tool.
23. If necessary, remove the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel
pump assembly.
CAUTION:

Do not bend the float arm during removal.

Avoid impacts such as dropping when handling the com-
ponents.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Connect the quick connector as follows:
–Check the connection for any damage or foreign materials.
–Align the connector with the pipe, then insert the connector straight into the pipe until a click is heard.
–After connecting the quick connector, make sure that the con-
nection is secure by checking as follows:
–Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely
connected.
–Visually inspect the connector to make sure the two retainer tabs
are securely connected.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Turn the ignition switch ON but do not start engine, then check the fuel pipe and hose connections for
leaks while applying fuel pressure.
2. Start the engine and rev it above idle, then check that there are no fuel leaks at any of the fuel pipe and
hose connections.

After installing leaf spring clamps, apply force to them in the
direction of the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all around.
Precautions for Engine OilsEAS001FC
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS

Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.

Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.

Do not put oily rags in pockets.

Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.

Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regu-
larly.

First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.

Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the skin.

Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help). Prepa-
rations containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.

Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.

If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.

Where practical, degrease components prior to handling.

Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face
shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste disposal contractors to licensed waste dis-
posal sites, or to the waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority for advice on disposal
facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains, or into water sources.
The regulations concerning pollution vary between regions.
Precautions for Air ConditioningEAS001FD
Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air conditioning system must be discharged. Refer to
ATC-175, "
HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Procedure" for specific instructions.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCEPFP:00026
Introduction of Periodic MaintenanceELS001BJ
Two different maintenance schedules are provided, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated. After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage or time intervals, whichever comes first.
Maintenance For Off-road Driving (4WD only)ELS001BK
After driving the vehicle off-road through sand, mud, or water; more frequent maintenance may be required for
the following items:
Brake pads and rotors
Brake lines and hoses
Rear final drive oil, transmission fluid, and transfer fluid
Steering linkage
Drive shafts
Engine air cleaner filter
In-cabin microfilters
Schedule 1ELS001BL
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only Schedule 1Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if your driving habits frequently includes
one or more of the following driving conditions:

Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).

Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures
remaining below freezing.

Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.

Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police,
taxi or door-to-door delivery use.

Driving in dusty conditions.

Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.

Towing a trailer or using a car-top carrier.Emission Control Sys-
